A member asked:

What do you suggest if my wrist hurts what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrist pain: Have you had any recent injuries? Overuse(twisting and lifting motions,repetitive use), strain, sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome and a broken bone can all cause wrist pain. Rest, elevation, icing, and NSAIDs (ibuprofen,naproxen) for the next 3 days if the pain continues follow up with your doctor for an evaluation.
